Gaming Contract

Gaming Contract

A contract in which participants agree to play a game of chance. For example, if two friends make a bet on who will win the World Series, they have entered a gaming contract and the loser is obliged to pay the winner the agreed-upon amount. However, a gaming contract may not be enforceable in a jurisdiction where gambling is illegal.

ignores the fact that Recommendation 26, in relation to this type of dispute, "assumes that gambling contracts will be deemed to be commercial consumer contracts", a questionable assumption which, if incorrect, may bring matters to a standstill.

Manila President Benigno Aquino has accepted the explanation of the head of a gaming regulatory office who was implicated in a US case filed by a Las Vegas gambling firm accusing its former Japanese partner of bribery to gain gambling contracts in the Philippines.
